Résumé

In the fictional country of Ruritania, Prince Michael drugs and abducts his brother, King Rudolf, on the eve of Rudolf's coronation. With the help the king's cousin, who closely resembles Rudolf, the king's men are able to prevent Michael from assuming the throne himself, while fighting to restore the rightful king. Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda was enormously influential, and inspired a new genre-the Ruritanian romance-as well a number of sequels and adaptations in both print and on screen.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie d'Anthony Hope

Anthony Hope (Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) was an English writer and playwright. Best known for his classic adventure tales The Prisoner of Zenda and Rupert of Hentzau, Hope is credited with creating the Ruritanian romance genre. Although he originally published short pieces in popular periodicals, Hope started his own publishing press because of a lack of interest in publishing his longer works. The success of The Prisoner of Zenda allowed him to give up his career in law in favour of writing full time, but his later works never achieved the same popularity as Zenda.
Hope was knighted in 1918 in recognition of his work with wartime propaganda, and he continued to write steadily until his death from cancer in 1933.
